(AP)  Iraq war veteran Steve Sarvi  is
preparing to run for Congress in Minnesota's 2nd District.

      Sarvi filed federal paperwork Thursday so he can raise and spend
campaign money.

      The Democrat aims to challenge U.S. Rep. John Kline, a
Republican and retired Marine who's serving his third term in the
House.

      Sarvi served 16 months in Iraq with the Minnesota National
Guard, returning home this July. He's a former Watertown mayor who
now works as city administrator in Victoria. Sarvi also was
deployed to Kosovo as part of a peacekeeping force.


      He says he is proud of his military service and that a change of
strategy is needed in Iraq.
